SurgiCount Medical, a division of Patient Safety Technologies (OTCBB:PSTX), the manufacturer of the Safety-Sponge surgical sponge counting system, appoints 25-year health care industry veteran Steven Kane to Chairman of the Board. The announcement was made by SurgiCount CEO Bill Adams. Mr. Kane replaces Arnold Spangler who will remain on the Board of Directors.
In his new capacity as Chairman of the Board, Mr. Kane draws on his experience as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Protalex, Inc, (OTC:PRTX), a biotechnology company developing drugs for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. A seasoned heath care executive, he began his career in sales management for Eli-Lilly and Becton Dickinson. He later served as Vice President of Aspect Medical, an anesthetics monitoring device developer - leading that company to an IPO in 2000. In addition, Mr. Kane served as Eastern Area Vice President of Pyxis Corporation, a medication and supply management solutions provider.
“I’m very excited about my new role with Patient Safety Technologies and SurgiCount Medical. I feel SurgiCount Medical has an excellent value proposition for their customers with the Safety-Sponge System. Retained surgical sponges are a critical patient safety initiative and I strongly believe SurgiCount Medical’s patented technology is the right solution for today’s medical institution,” said Steve Kane.
“Steve’s extensive management experience and strong relationships in the health care industry make him uniquely qualified to lead our Board of Directors,” says Bill Adams. “He also brings ample experience in the investment markets to the Board of Directors. Steve led multiple public financings in his current position and made significant contributions to the rapid growth of both Aspect Medical Systems and Pyxis Corporation, which was acquired by Cardinal Health for $1 billion. We welcome Steve to our Board and look forward to his leadership in helping to make our retained sponge solution the overwhelming market leader.”
About SurgiCount Medical, Inc.
SurgiCount Medical, Inc., a division of Patient Safety Technologies, Inc (OTCBB:PSTX), manufactures the SurgiCount Safety-Sponge System, a patented FDA 510k approved turn key solution to retained surgical sponges. The system is comprised of surgical sponges and towels affixed with an inseparable two-dimensional data matrix bar code and a SurgiCounter scanner to record each sponge before and after an operation. Because all sponges are identified with a unique code, they can not be counted twice. At the end of a procedure, the system can either immediately produce a printed report or the information can be imported into a database program. The SurgiCount Safety-Sponge System is also the only retained sponge system to offer complete sponge inventory tracking, reporting features and integration with a medical facility’s IT system.
